      Good company policies, nice hours, sick pay and vacation. Really cool to see all the books as they come in. Pay is really good for a retail job.

      Pros

      If you find yourself at a location where you like your managers and co-workers, this job is super fun (while physically demanding) but easy and enjoyable. Lots of great books that come through the door from individual owners, great discount on already discounted items and easy to get items from one store to another

      Cons

      Cleaning bathrooms after a long shift or even before your shift starts can put a damper on morale. Also some locations managers and system of operations can be different from one location to the next so when transferring you may lose interest in the job because the new store does things backwards (which is what happened to me and HR never contacted me to help me out)
